“We’ve listened to the feedback from our customers and colleagues and are reverting [where it existed before] to the 50 per cent off discounts,” the company, whose stores include Atlantic Superstore, No Frills, Dominion and Freshmart to name a few, told CBC News in an email on Friday.
“In the Atlantic, we had not implemented the change and will not. In the rest of the country, customers can expect to see 50 per cent stickers returning in the next few weeks.”
They’re all crooks
That’s just Loblaws. All the major chains are doing it, not just them.
Safeway never did it. At least not the one I go to and I’m there 2-3 days a week. Just bought stewing beef with a 5$ off that was expiring next day.
Safeway has always been a rip off, and yes their prices are going up too
We’re not talking about price increases, we’re talking about discounting nearly expired food.
The comment I was responding to was talking about price and profit increases.
But in regards to the stickers: they thought they could get an instant 20% boost but realized they were throwing more stuff than was worth it.
